They are a bit heavy and not as secure, but really useful for playing around with position, so when you order a fixed stem, you know its right.
I've seen threaded adjustable stems, but not 1 1/8 aheadset. I probably didn't look hard enough. Hopefully as the one I've ordered is closer to the original (which apart from being rather weighty isn't too bad) I'll be luckier. There seems to be a shortage of stems with a steep rise.
